Can FDG PET Serve as a Clinically Relevant Tool for Detecting Active Non-sarcoidotic Myocarditis?
Review in Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The diagnostic work-up for myocarditis largely depends on non-invasive imaging because of the low yield of endomyocardial biopsy. In addition, differentiation among possible impressions is essential because of its non-specific clinical presentations. This ambiguity has led to the predominant use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging techniques in the management of myocarditis, particularly during the global pandemic. Despite the unique ability of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography to visualize and quantify active myocardial inflammation, which has been well established in cardiac sarcoidosis, its diagnostic contribution in non-sarcoidotic myocarditis remains uncertain. This article reviews the current evidence on the non-invasive imaging diagnosis of non-sarcoidotic myocarditis and discusses the potential role of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a clinically relevant imaging tool.
